Winner of the inaugural
Australian Teenage
Photographer Of The Year
competition, James Vodicka,
receiving his trophy and
prize from Camera editor,
Paul Burrows.Are You good enough to Be the next...
After the success of the 2015-16 competition,
Camera magazine is again searching
for Australia’s most talented teenage
photographers. If you’re currently aged
between 13 and 19, you’re eligible to enter
the new 2017-18 competition and show off
your camera skills.
We had a great response to our
inaugural Australian Teenage
Photographer Of The Year
competition so we’re doing it all
again. This is a great opportunity
for young photographers to show
off their talents behind the camera
and possibly get into print. It’s not
hard to put your images online...
getting into a magazine is more of a
challenge, but a published spread of
images could be the toe-in-the-door
to a possible career in photography.
Over the next six issues of
Camera, we’re giving you the
chance to have a portfolio of your
images published over a double-
page spread in Australia’s leading
photography magazine. At the end
of the competition, we’ll judge
all six successful portfolios and
crown somebody the Australian
Teenage Photographer Of The Year
for 2017-18. The overall winner will
be presented with the Australian
Teenage Photographer Of The Year
trophy and a grand prize of camera
equipment, details of which will be
revealed in the next issue.
We’ll also be showcasing your
images on Camera magazine’s
Website at http://www.avhub.com.au.
Your submissions will be evaluated
by Camera editor Paul Burrows
and professional photographer
Bruce Usher.How To Get Started...
We want you to select your
SIX best images. These can be
thematic – perhaps from a projectyou’re working on – or showcase a
mixture of subjects and techniques.
These images should clearly
demonstrate your camera skills...
in other words, your eye for a great
picture and the ability to visually
interpret a subject. As with last
year’s comp, we don’t mind a bit of
post-camera editing, but anything
that’s obviously over-manipulated
won’t make the cut. This is all about
using the camera to tell a story.
Next, submit JPEG versions
of your top six – the file size
doesn’t need to be any bigger
than 1.0 to 2.0 MB – and you’ll
find all the details about how to
do this at http://www.avhub.com.au/

We’ll also need some
information about you... how you
got into photography, what you like
to photograph and what motivates
you to get out with your camera.
The last publication for
submissions will be the May/June
2018 issue of Camera magazine, so
the closing date for the competition
is 15 April 2018. You may enter all
or any round, but you must submit
a different portfolio of six images
each time.AustrAliAn
